Caveman’s Journal- Autos with Grow Dots

I have many! What is qwet to start?

We were going to make a batch of coconut oil tomorrow hopefully.
Last batch I used 1.5 oz of trim and a half of flower.
We’re going to use a full 2 oz of flower this time around. We are hoping it increases the potency a bit.

Still trying to figure out if decarb is necessary if vaping with a cartridge with a ceramic coil…

Partial decarb, full decarb, no decarb?

Unfortunately, edibles do nothing to me.

I have a full spectrum cart I bought at an IL dispensary… I know that’s not made with alcohol… But I’d like to get as close as possible.

Thc extraction using very cold high proof alcohol.

You’re peaking my interest!
You make your own carts? That is something we’ve thought about quite a bit.
Growing is great for our flower supply, but both the wife and I like our vape pens when we’re out and about. They aren’t cheap either! I’d love to learn to make our own, I just always thought it was out

I used to have one of those cartridge pens, after a while I couldn’t handle it, really hurt the lungs. Probably all the stuff they put in those a few years ago. Anyways, now I have the XMAX V3 Pro dry herb vape pen, love it! Nothing but weed goes in, nothing but great flavour comes out! I pack it with about 0.3 of a gram and take the dog for a walk down the creek. Does 3 4-minute sessions, one at 195C, then 2 sessions at 210C or until flavour fades and exhaled vapour does too. I can be talking to strangers and puff on it, they have no idea it’s weed! And I get 2 walks out of a charge before I have to plug it in (so daily!).

And when at home, I switch to joints, never really like bongs or pipes…

My wife and I are strictly dry herb vapors as well. I might smoke a joint now and then I guess. At the moment we both use a dynavap with the wand (heater). We’ve gone through a lot of the dry herb vapes over the years and have both taken a liking to dynavaps. They aren’t the most discreet if you’re using a torch, they look like a one hitter with a cap, but with the heater they aren’t terrible. They get hot though! Like real hot! They fit in a dugout so after use it goes back in there to cool off.

I say no decarb. It’s the heat and time that activate the THC from THCA which happens when you vape. I know a few that do a partial decarb but only to make the concentrate more viscous… I, personally would rather add a thinner or terps to make it more viscous. check out Farm To Vape products.

So 1 oz will make how much of qwet?

It depends on the % of thc in the plant and if you’re using quality buds or trim. I find with quality buds, 1 oz will produce between 1.2 and 1.6 grams @ 750mg thc per gram

When you make qwet you use the 1 gram of it and get 4.5 1 gram carts?

I see that post was from a year ago. Is this something you’re still making on the regular? Going good? It looks sort of like a pain tbh, but really interested in giving it a shot.

Just checked on the tent in passing and found that the banana daddy lost its shell this morning.

Happy Saturday!

Well going to make some coconut oil tonight after work.

Got 2 oz ready to go, decarbed last night. My oven apparently doesn’t go to 240? It’s 225 or 250, we did 225 for 75 minutes.
After work we will start the process.
I have another oz I’m going to do the qwet method this weekend.

Currently making the batch of oil, but I think I screwed up my timing pretty bad and it’s going to be a late night making this stuff.

This is just under 2 1/2 hours in with another 2 1/2 to go for this first round.

Here’s what it looks like after one round.
Round 2 underway now,

Just remember that you DO get to a point of too much. At a certain point the oil can suspend no more of the cannabis. 1 cup of oil does a good ounce to 1.5 ounces. Can run as long as want to infuse. I do 3 hours…refill…3 hours. Done.

I ran 2 ounces through 3 cups of oil. Two rounds of 5 hours at 170 degrees.
I fell asleep round two though and it sat for an extra 4-5 hours.
Looks good, too early and I have to work today otherwise I’d try it right now. Smells amazing!

Just got done putting it in a jar though.



Think I’ll be ok?

Update from the tent this morning. Things are looking good.
I filled the bases last night with 6.7 water at 440 ppm in the 500 scale.
I added 2ml of calmag for the older plants. I haven’t been doing that, but figured this round I’d try it here and there.

Plants just woke up a couple minutes before this.




Please let me know if you see anything or think I need to change something.
Temp/rh% = 77/49%

Good color. If decarb was good you are golden. If it feels real weak can finish decarb right in that jar. 230-15 more minutes
